Malaysia brings forward Covid-19 vaccine roll-out schedule due to low registration

KUALA LUMPUR - Just over a month into Malaysia s national vaccination drive against Covid-19, the government is changing its roll-out timetable due to low registration numbers. The country will bring forward the implementation of the third phase of vaccination - meant for the public - to the end of April, and will consider a policy change if the sign-up rate does not improve in the next two months. General sign-ups remained low as of Sunday (April 4), with less than a quarter of Malaysia s 33 million people having signed up for vaccination, and with most states - the exception being  administrative capital Putrajaya - seeing a sign-up rate of below 50 per cent.

Malaysia to receive 600,000 AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine in June

PETALING JAYA (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - Malaysia will begin receiving 600,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine in June under a direct procurement exercise, said the coordinating minister for the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme, Mr Khairy Jamaluddin. Subsequent deliveries will come every month, he said at a press conference after launching the Corporate Collaboration for the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme on Wednesday (March 31), an event that was also broadcast on social media. Mr Khairy, who is also the Science, Technology and Innovation Minister, assured the public that the country s AstraZeneca vaccine supply under the World Health Organisation-backed Covax programme will not be affected as its supply comes from SK Bioscience, a manufacturer in South Korea, and not from India s Serum Institute of India (SII).
